Im having a hard time locating some of the bearings to rebuild my 46 2 ton steering box.
does anybody have a list of bearing numbers and even a place where I can get them?
any help would be most appreciated

I am not completely sure if they do them in particular for these trucks, but maybe they could point you in a direction. Hope this helps.

I have a NOS upper or lower steering shaft bearing that I THOUGHT was correct for my 41 military truck. I will hunt up the part and get you the number if interested. I would rather see it used in a steering box than sitting in my "spare parts" box.
